TL;DR
The resort beach is typically reached by hotel shuttle in about 7 minutes; walking is roughly 2 km and is not recommended by recent visitors. Shuttles also run to the water park, with the red map marker and the Shrek slide used as landmarks.
Visitors advise taking the resort bus rather than attempting to walk to the beach. There are three reef areas there; the second reef is noted for abundant fish and a cave that fish swim through.
Use the red-circled point on the map to find the bus departure area and the entrance toward Pickalbatros Aqua Park. The Shrek slide is a useful nearby landmark.
The beach shuttle takes about 7 minutes, while walking is approximately 2 km. Sunbeds are spaced out, the pontoon gives immediate access to deep water, and the shore area is only slightly above knee-deep.
Shuttle buses run to the water park. At the beach, travelers can use a shallow swimming area or enter from the pier for deeper-water swimming.
